Senators' Mike Hoffman: Dealing with undisclosed ailment

Hoffman is day-to-day with an undisclosed injury, Postmedia's Bruce Garrioch reports.

Analysis:

Hoffman isn't expected to be sidelined for long, but this news effectively rules the winger out of Thursday's matchup with the Predators. It's been a disappointing start to the season for the 6-foot-1 forward, as he's only tallied seven points (three goals, four assists) in 16 games after having racked up 59 points in 78 games in 2015-16. Owners hoping to slot Hoffman into their daily lineups can check back for another update on his status ahead of Saturday's game against the Panthers.
